Yum Yum - MANGOES!!!

Hey all! Well...yes please forgive me for not posting more and actually placing pics when I said I would do them....but today...I have pics! Things are good...just gotta a full plate of ministry to do... and well...looking forward to see how it is all gonna get done! Some of that includes some of you guys coming down and being a part of a missions team!

We are just beginning our mango season here! There are several kind of trees that produce different kinds of mangoes - the best are the kind without the fiber inside...oh-so-good!! I will put some pics of some mangoes that I took near my house this afternoon. I also am putting up a pic of my scooter I bought last month - nice wheels I know! I have some missionaries interested in my little bike...so I might sell it soon and get something really cool! I'll surprise you later with a pic of "The Cholly" haa haa!

Life here is good...and even crazy at times. Now that I am here...the dust has settled and I am into a groove, I am like..."where is my helper?" I feel like I am swimming in the olympics and forgot my swimsuit in the locker room! Your swimsuit is vital part of your routine (ha haa) ...wonder where mine is? Anyhow...if you happen to think of it please pray for a wife for me!!

What an honor and a priveledge to be able to be here and share the love of Christ with people. We have been coving false religions in our Thursday night discipleship class - and I have actually taught in three of them - Mormonism and Prosperity Gospel. I also...am preaching three times in five weeks with the first one being this sunday - so if you happen to get this...please pray for me and our church. The father of lies is stirring up trouble...but God is bigger - thanks for your prayers.

Here is a group shot from left to right: Pastor Miguel (wife not here), Pastor Joel and his wife Evelyn, and Pastor Julio (wife not here), and ME (um, don't know who my wife is yet!) haa ha. We make up the Mil Palmeras staff. This photo was taken inside the church...you can see the big screen (its wood painted white) and the speakers in the background. We get about 300 on a sunday - and yep, my crazy self will be preaching here...eeeyyyy!!!!


Please pray for:
- My Spanish as I am preaching three times soon. 11/9, 11/23, and 12/7
- For strength to handle all my responsibilities
- For teams to come this year and partner with what God is doing here
